About this product
Product Information
Yoel Hoffmann's Curriculum Vitae is the remarkable summation of the writer's life: his escape from the Holocaust; his arrival in Palestine; time in an orphanage; youth; two marriages; fatherhood; his studies of Japanese Buddhism; his travels; his ever-busy inner life. Curriculum Vitae begins quietly but becomes more and more hypnotic and amazing. Funny, gorgeous and utterly unique, Curriculum Vitae is Yoel Hoffmann's triumphant look backward and inward: How stupid we are to let the world toss us from one place to another, while we need to speak to dentists and poets like warehouse clerks who keep an account of old equipment (bags here and belts there) and pile it up on the floor. What do we remember? The lake at Biwa and the houses across it. The cherry blossoms and Auschwitz, Treblinka, Maidenak.... "Hoffmann," as the Chicago Tribune put it, "is not just a good writer but a great one, with the ability to find, in the moment-to-moment dislocation of daily existence, epiphanies of revelatory force . . . What Hoffmann has achieved is a kind of magic." Hoffmann has also been hailed as "miraculous" (A. B. Yehoshua), "spectacular" ( The New Yorker ), "radiant" ( World Literature Today ), and "stunning" ( The New Leader ).

Reviews
Composed of brief, joking remembrances that take the sorrows of origins' Judaism, and offer them, in reparation, as hope., A writer of international importance...Hoffmann refracts Jewish popular lore and folk wisdom through a postmodernist prism, brightening his prose with snatches of verse, songs, diary excerpts, letters, ominous dreams, lush erotic passages and Yiddish sayings., Part novel, part memoir, part neither, Curriculum Vitae is a frolicking dive into the self of the writer., These bits and pieces of polished writing--like small, well-crafted gems--form a mosaic and give one a full portrait.

The book is brand new, just as described. The price was reasonable. Shipping was fast, and tracking was provided.
Unlike other sellers who REFUSE to leave feedback unless the buyer leaves feedback first, this seller left feedback immediately upon payment. THIS is how it should be.

Item is just as described and in pristine condition. Packaged extremely well. Thank you!! I would buy from the seller again. But be aware, processing and shipping is a lengthy process and you aren’t likely to get your item in under a week. But did arrive in the stated delivery window. Now, knowing that it will take time to arrive, this book was so clean and nice, I will buy from the seller again. Patience is a good skill to cultivate.
